Beginning of the Christmas season is upon us! I wish there was one more week in between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then we could have a little more time to buy presents, listen to Christmas music, and admire our Christmas trees.
Speaking of which, I am loving our tree this year. We had to buy one since the last few years we just had a little 4 foot artificial one that didn't make it in the move. We got a cute 7' one on Black Friday (and by 'we' I mean John while I slept in my nice warm bed) and then bought silver and red ornaments for it. Plus a few must-haves like our wedding ornament, the babies' First Christmas ornaments, and all the 'year' ornaments. Which I have yet to find as an end to 2009.
I love Christmas lights. White ones. (Just ask John, he missed that there were stickers on the outside of the Christmas tree saying 'multi-colored' and 'clear'...leading to a long morning, but a happy result). I think it is the perfect amount of light to have in the evening when it gets dark sooo early and overhead lights drive me nuts cause they are too bright. I wish we could leave the little lights out all winter long!
Still on the list of Christmas things we need: tree skirt and stockings. Unless I remember correctly and we have the hand-me-downs from mom...I will just have to find them in the 20+ small boxes sitting unopened in the garage because they have books in them too and I have no where for them to go.
